This is a pretty fun addition to my TD-9 Roland. And yes, it works brilliantly with Rock Band 4 on the PS4. The photos I've attached are just for reference as these are the configurations that work best for me. Also, a couple of items to note that will save you a few grimaces and eyebrow raises while setting up your midi pro adapter: 1.) It will connect to your PS4 (or PS3) via one of your front USB connections. And the USB cord runs about 10ft. If your e-kit is further away, I would suggest a USB extension cable. 2.) Be sure that the D K G selector tab is moved over to "D" for drums. And if you want "K" for keyboards, and "G" for guitars. But "D" is the key here. Not "K" or "G"... "D"! 3.) It has an accelerometer on it (the volume-plus/minus-looking wheel). Once you have your midis set, you are going to have to play a song and mess with this wheel until your midi adapter is configured to your desired strike note for score tempo. 4.) Lastly, intimidate and impress your friends, but above all...Have fun :)
